The war with the Zarist Supremacy is at an end.
The Orion Confederacy, an alliance built by refugees from the Orion Arm, helped push back against the warmongering of the Zarists and their Nall cohorts within the alien universe of the Ancient Expanse.
Now, the depleted Clawed Fist Fleet is on the run, the Opodians of Kamsho have made their peace with the rest of the galaxy, the Thul are doing their best not to be noticed in their grimy corner of the cosmos, and the Kamir-descended Aukami in Multvaros wait, practically defenseless, for the repercussions and retaliation to come.
All anyone probably needs is a good excuse. And now they might have one: Captain David Ransom Porter and his team aboard the Minerva reverse-engineered a transuniversal rift drive. Porter shared the design schematics with all worlds in the Ancient Expanse before taking his ship through a space-time rift back to the Orion Arm. The key ingredient for building a rift modulator: Kamir artifacts, which litter the surface of Aukam and other Kamir-influenced worlds.
How far will people go in the hopes of scoring riches across the multiverse? And should everyone be so eager to find out what lies beyond those shimmering gashes in space-time?
